Corvallis Times. Official Paper of Benton County. COBTAIXIS, OREGON, MAY , 1903. THAT DEMOCRATIC PRESS. The republican press of ' Benton charges that the "democratic press" of Benton tries to mislead the people. For." proof, the republican press says that when Peter Rickard ran for sheriff of Benton, -the "demo cratic press" urged his election be cause Mr. Rickard was a farmer. In the same campaign, to the notorious' and intense amuse ment of all Benton county, . this vastly virtuous republican press solemnly announced that the Hon. George A. Waggoner was a "farmer'" In the present instance, this selfsame republican press avers, to the widespread and thrilling amazement of all, that the Hon. Binger Hermann was not retired from off! re, that he 4S on the sweetest terms of -consonance with tli administration, etc. etc. It is no wonder that the heavy man of the republican press of Ben ton solemnly declared that .Dr. Withycombe was wrong; and that though she was indeed a muley, his cow did have the hollow .horn.

SEATTLE HORSE BUYERS: They kave Made Several Purchases in Benton This Week. - s - f - A farmer who owns a good horse now, and wants to keep hinv has to fortify himselt against all ' kind . of offers from buyers. This week Messers Dickinson, and Vernon, proprietors of the California stables, Seattle, -were in this neighborhood and succeeded in buying three heavy horses. They procured a span of draft, animals from Rufus Skipton, and one from Elvin Witham, paying for the latter $150. The price of the Skipton team was not learned. These gentlemen secured a number of horses in Linn county also, and they will ship from Albany next Tuesday. O. TEL J Holcomb, a Seattle buyer well known here, ar rived Thursday, and took a drive down the Soap Creek road. , From A. N. Locke Mr. Holcomb. secured a fine four. year-old horse weighing 1,600 pounds. This animal cost the buyer $200. A call on Ben Harris resulted in the purchase of a 1,500 pound horse for $ 160. Mr. Hol comb was to have been with us the remainder of the week and . expec ted to buy several other horses. LAID TO REST. The funeral of John D.

WANTED. TO SELL. - ' y i His Farm But Didn't Mistook Buy- er for Assessor and Talked ... Wrong. : . : : , A whole lot less than a .; dozen miles from Corvallis is a man who wants to sell his farm. , 1 He had a buyer "the other day, a . new .ar rival from the East, who had '- the dough and was red hot forja trade." But no sale was made, and there to hangs a queer tale. The owner is not personally acquainted with the county- assessor. , : And when Jhe Easterner came nosing around on the farm, the, owner had a pre sentment that it was the assessor come to make the assessment ' "You got a pretty good looking farm here." said the Easterner. "Oh, it's nice enougn looking, but it s no good," : said the farmer, gruffly, as he went on with his work. v . , . .. "Do you want to sell?" contin ued the buyer. Tbjs question only served to makjfe the former sure the stranger was the assessor. The tack the visitor was on, now, was to get at the price of the property; he thought. - But the farmer de termined that he was too shrewd to be caught by that sort of a ruse. "Of course I want to sell; I've been trying to sell this durned old farm ever since I got it, but no body wants it. It overflows in the winter, the soil ain't more than six inches deep, the dog fennel ' has crowded out the grass and grain, and I can t raise a crop to save my life; If I stay on the place a year or two longer, which I don't think I will, and these durned assessors and tax-collectors keep a-snoopin around and a-raisin taxes, me and my hull family will hev to go to the poor house. Why, man, if I wanted a farm, and was dyin' for a faring and this here one was the last one to be. had on ' earth, durn me if I'd give six bits an cre for it." - . y By this time the new arrival from Iowa was speechless. With' out further ado, - he ' hurried off the place without making his real business known, thankful now that he had escaped the purchase of so bad a piece of property. The farm er is busy now, trying to keep the real facts from his wife. ? " A Bargain. If taken soon, , 2 acres ; one acres in choice bearing fruit.

The plot included the trials of an orphan girl first in a mining" camp and then at a boarding school with the foul attempts of a villian to secure her hand and fortune. The cast pre sented an Irish character of attrac tive personality, a fine old miner who was adopted father of the girl, an exconvict who, after saving her life and fortune turned out to be the real father of the maiden, and best of all Miss Rae Bronson as a Spanish girl, deceived and forsaken by the villian, but terrible in her revenge and noble in her aspira tions. The mixture made one of the most pleasing and best presen ted dramas seen . in Corvallis in- long time. ' ' . -. ' One of the attractive features of the Carnival will be a public -wedding at which time a donation of $25 worth of housekeeping furniture -will be made to the codtracting parties.
